Thunderbolts Needs To Protect Black Widow’s MCU Legacy

:0:0

Marvel Studios needs to ensure that Black Widow's MCU legacy is protected in Phase 5's Thunderbolts. Kevin Feige revealed the primary cast for Thunderbolts at 2022's D23 Expo, with Florence Pugh, David Harbour, Sebastian Stan, Wyatt Russell, Hannah John-Kamen, Olga Kurylenko, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus set to reprise their roles from previous MCU projects. Thunderbolts' storyline has been kept under wraps at Marvel Studios, but with Harrison Ford joining the cast as General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross, replacing the late William Hurt, the film is building up to be an epic adventure for the MCU's premiere antihero team.
Thunderbolts has been billed as a sequel to both Captain America: New World Order and Black Widow, with both Jac Schaeffer and Eric Pearson returning after co-writing on Black Widow before its apparent spiritual sequel, Thunderbolts. More characters from Black Widow are also being included than from any other MCU installment, since Yelena Belova (Pugh), Alexei Shostakov, a.k.a. Red Guardian (Harbour), Taskmaster (Kurylenko), and Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Louis-Dreyfus) all made appearances in the Phase 4 film. These characters all shared an intense connection to the MCU's Natasha Romanoff, a.k.a. Black Widow, so there's a huge challenge for Marvel Studios to overcome during Thunderbolts' production.
